Forms: see home n.¹ and adj. and wort n.¹

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: home n.¹, wort n.¹

Etymology: < home n.¹ + wort n.¹ Compare houseleek n. (and the etymological discussion at that entry).The identification of Old English hāmwyrt with the common houseleek is not entirely certain; compare Old High German heimwurz (Middle High German heimwurze ), which renders Latin (herba) mercurialis in glossaries (compare mercury n. 10a).

Now historical and rare.

The common houseleek, Sempervivum tectorum; cf. houseleek n.In quot. 1865 translating the passage cited in quot. eOE¹.
